Mumbai Indians survived KL Rahul’s spectacular innings and managed to defend 186 runs at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday (May 17) to stay alive in IPL 11.
Kings XI Punjab were well on their way to the target of 187 runs, with Rahul and Aaron Finch stringing together a massive partnership of over hundred runs. But a terrific spell from Jasprit Bumrah in the final stages, picking up the wickets of both the batsmen, tipping the scales in Mumbai’s favour.
Here are some of the reactions!

Bumrah’s 17th and 19th overs….didn’t concede a single boundary in his spell of four overs in a high scoring encounter on a flat pitch. Well done ? #MIvKXIP #IPL

For a Mumbaikar this #IPL18 isn’t for the faint hearted. Well played, @mipaltan ! Bad luck @lionsdenkxip . Onward and forward, @ImRo45 and the lads!

This has been a game of some brilliant individual performances. Pollard, Tye, Ashwin, Rahul, Bumrah…high quality cricket too.#MIvKXIP #IPL2018

Everyone knows Bumrah is an excellent death-bowler.
What we should discuss now is whether India have seen a death-bowler of this quality.— Abhishek Mukherjee (@ovshake42) May 16, 2018
